Euro crisis 'behind us' - Hollande

French President Francois Hollande said Monday in Oslo that the eurozone crisis was "behind us," noting the efforts the European Union has made made to "resolve the problems."

"The euro crisis, I've said it before, is behind us. We've given Greece the funds it was waiting for. In Spain we've helped keep the banks afloat. In Italy, even if there's political uncertainty, I'm sure the Italians will address it," Hollande told journalists in Oslo.
